Three Things About Jo

  1. She had a long radio career in South Florida and New York City. When her show followed Howard Stern’s she was known as “The Rock and Roll Madame” and dressed accordingly.
  2. Her memoir When I Married My Mother about moving to the Bible Belt to care for her estranged mother was a bestseller and continues to help others deal with the decline of a loved one, no matter what their relationship. She also writes personal essays and novels, the latter about women in professional and personal crises while enduring some kind of culture clash.
  3. She married during the Covid-19 crisis. See her last blog post of 2020 for details.
